I am obsessed with Inspire. As a marathon runner, I thought I was in shape...but pilates at Inspire showed me where my muscle imbalances are and how I need to work on my balance and core strength. This is hands down the most effective workout you can get in 40 minutes. Classes with Sean are super fun and he'll make you laugh while your glutes are burning from exertion. I can see a difference in my body and even if it's a bit pricey, I will definitely keep going because it's incredible. Check it out! read more

I love Inspire! The highly efficient workouts have greatly improved my fitness level. I cycle, and feel that the SPX workouts have done wonders for increasing my power, and have generally improved muscle tone all over. I've been going there for two months, 2-3x week. I feel that 2x a week is sufficient for achieving results in conjunction with longer cardio workouts. (You *will* get a good cardio workout here, though) Inspire offers a killer workout in just 40 minutes that's never boring and is always challenging. The instructors provide an incredible amount of personal attention and have excellent taste in music. The studio is immaculately clean and the atmosphere is friendly. There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but the instructors are skilled at helping newcomers. read more

Went to my first Lagree class today! And holy cow. Kicked my butt in the best way! The class had fun upbeat music to keep you moving the entire time but our instructor Carly was what really kept me going! She is amazing at keeping the class motivated and it being my first time she was always there to help me when I needed it. The workout was challenging for me and I will certainly be going back! Thank you so much Carly and Inspire!! read more

Hands-down the best Pilates studio (or workout for that matter) in Seattle. I started Inspire classes through ClassPass and just recently transitioned to an unlimited package as it truly gets the job done better than any other class I have done (and I've done them all). It's important to note that this class is hard - it's much different than the fluffy, gentle Pilates classes that many other reviewers mentioned they preferred. If you want a tough workout in a short amount of time, this is your place! I have yet to leave this place without my entire body shaking (in the best possible way!). read more

Inspire is amazing. Great facilities and quality instructors. You can tell the owner Rebekah puts a great deal of investment into training her instructors. I highly recommend inspire for anyone looking for an efficient full body strength workout. read more

Unbelievably hard but rewarding workout. Worth every minute and dollar. Really focused on core and legs. My instructor was really attentive for my first class and showed me how to do everything, remembered my name, and helped adjust throughout class. read more

I had to update this to let you all know that they are constantly bettering their teachers and they way they coach. I appreciate them being constantly aware of how we can get better! Burn baby burn! Worth EVERY penny read more

SPX is a killer workout! I love the 40 minute format (not sure that I could handle an hour!) and it works all of your body. I tried the 3 classes for $20 with the BF and we both were sore after each session. Even if you have zero pilates experience you get a great workout. The machines are fun and totally adaptable, there are people of all ages in the classes. The idea is that you work your muscles to failure (think shaking legs) and do a ton of exercises that confuse your muscles. I've never done so many adapted lunges or situps in my life. My problem is that my balance is terrible and there are a lot of exercises that require you to balance. and my lack of grace usually causes me to fall or nearly fall. I don't workout to look cool, I workout to look better naked, and SPX is definitely helping me on that mission. read more

I've been going to Inspire 2x/week for at least 6 months and I LOVE it. It's an amazing workout and I actually noticed a change in my body after about 2-3 months. If you're new to pilates, I would recommend going to the beginner class. If you can't make that, then I'd recommend going to a class later in the day. I think the early morning classes are filled with mostly regulars, so the moves aren't thoroughly explained. The instructors consistently correct form, offer modifications, and provide new routines and moves. After 6 months, I'm still doing new moves weekly. LOOOOOOOOOOVE it. read more

This is such an amazing full body workout! I love going to the Queen Anne location, and Olivia and Brittany teach such a great class! Highly recommend! read more

Best place to get a great, quick and hard workout! I love all the instructors, they are passionate about form and making sure everyone can succeed. read more

Great, effective workout. Extremely hard! If done right, you will shake the entire time and see results quickly

Simply put, SPX is THE BEST workout I have ever experienced!! It's a combination of Pilates, weight training and cardio all rolled up into an intense, gut-wrenching, shirt-drenching 40-minute workout that will leave your legs shaking and your abs sore for days! So head to Inspire (perfect name for their beautiful, inspiring studio!) - the only place in Seattle to get the SPX workout! You will love the owner, Sue, and all of her great instructors. I am a San Diego-based SPX junkie, but I will definitely be at Inspire every time I'm in Seattle! read more

This place is not for beginners. I purchased the 1x beginner class + 5 class package. Three sessions were great. Three sessions were not. This was due to one of the instructors. I'm a runner and run 9-12 miles/week. I have great cardio history and I'm not a stranger to working out. But I'm a total beginner when it comes to muscle strengthening and Pilates. One of the instructors was really fantastic. She let me take my own pace, would occasionally correct me on form and provide helpful tips. I felt fabulous after those workouts and hopeful that I would get stronger and continue. The other instructor however made me feel like a total idiot. I'm sure she thought she was trying to give me helpful tips, but on both classes she would call me out, uncomfortably manhandle my body in positions that my body would not fluidly bend, nor were strong enough yet to support. She made me feel pathetic when I couldn't do something and weaker than all the "experts" she kept referring to in the class that had been doing this for several years. I did not appreciate it. I found myself trying to find classes that did not have her as the instructor, and eventually I just gave up and turned to another gym. They're too expensive and my time too precious to be dealing with instructor anxiety. I'm now regularly attending the BodyPump class at Queen Anne Seattle Gym and love it. I feel stronger and healthier and feel confident that I can keep it up for the long haul. I think Inspire works really well for those who are very experienced with Pilates. However, I would not recommend it for beginners. I had pre-conceived ideas that Pilates was difficult and the equipment looked like a torture chamber. My perception of the equipment is no longer valid and in fact it's very ingenious, but if you're a beginner, they physical part is challenging. If you want to do Pilates for the long haul, I would recommend a place that is better suited for beginners. read more

This studio gave me my first exposure to the world of SPX and I've been hooked ever since ! It's just the right amount of strength - building , anaerobic exercise and time I need to see results in the typical female problem spots. After about 5 classes I noticed I was getting stronger and after 15 classes I saw my waist, hips , thighs and upper arms slim down by at least 1/2 an inch! I did notice myself plateau after a few months but I finally had to give in and incorporate cardio (spin) into my regimen. My fave instructor has to be hands down Trixie. Her background in professional bodybuilding makes her classes a little more intense and technical than the others but it teaches you how to do the moves correctly and be mindful of your form. I've encouraged 2 friends to join inspire, both newbies to SPX, and they both loved it and saw their bodies change quickly. If you have tried every workout and have not seen results, give this an honest try. read more

You must try this for the following reasons: -It's only 40 minutes and you cover all your cardio and weights for the day. You can survive 40 minutes of anything. -It is easy to adapt to any level of physical fitness and the instructors are phenomenal at giving modifications for new students or special needs. It's totally non-impact but incredibly effective. -It is procrastinator proof- you have to plan ahead and there is a 24 hr cancellation policy. You cannot wake up that morning and make an excuse not to go. -There are only 9 people per class so you get plenty of personal attention -You'll really feel like you accomplished something every time you go. I'm totally addicted If you are struggling to find an exercise routine that fits into your life and fitness level, I cannot recommend this enough. read more

I love this place!! One of the best workouts I have EVER had!! I have lower back injuries and this did not hurt my lower back at all!! I recommend this to anyone and everyone!! make sure you take the beginners class first!! read more

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love the classes that Sean and Rebekah teach at Inspire. This workout is no joke. It's 40 minutes of thinking you may pass out any second. Hey! That's what I'm paying for-Return On Investment is through the roof. I am lean in a way that I have never been. But really it's the pure awesomeness they bring to the class that keeps me coming back for more. Seriously, they rock. read more

I took a class at Inspire and unfortunately, I won't be coming back or recommending it to any friends. I gave two stars because the space is beautiful and I like how the machines are lined up, but otherwise, this place has a lot of room for improvement. First, there is such high risk for injury. There is barely any warm up and many of the moves require you to hyperextend your body which feels very dangerous. Additionally, there is very little instruction on how to perform the exercises correctly, and if there is instruction, it's said in an extremely condescending way. In my class, the instructor came up (about 3 times in the span of the first five minutes) and at one point whispered in my ear (but I assumed everyone could hear since she was mic'd) and said, "you're new here, you don't know the moves, you have to watch the people next to you." Which doesn't sound bad when I'm writing it out, but in the moment, I felt vulnerable and considered leaving the class. I love attending workout classes and I've never felt this way before. I just ask/suggest to the studio's leadership that they create a more welcoming atmosphere for new students, and that they also train their instructors on putting emphasis on safe technique! read more

If you're looking for a new workout to tone up, try out Inspire. Even though I work out pretty regularly, these moves are so different from what I normally do that I was totally sore! So I love that it gives my body a little muscle confusion. I've been to two beginner classes so far and the workout was slightly different each time so I like that I can expect something different each time I go. Class is a little short - only 40 minutes - but if you're doing it right, it's all you need. You'll feel it the next day! read more

I love these brutal torture machines aka mega reformers they have here! They will squeeze out a ton of sweat, tears and even an occasional whine from me, but they are so effective and the workout goes by so fast! It's only 40 minutes! I am very excited about this workout, because I can finally see almost instant results: I am talking amazing booty, flat abs, toned arms and legs. I stopped taking barre classes because the results were not that great after taking them for years, and it bothers my hip flexors and lower back. Pilates is good, but the results are not that fast. The workout that Inspire offers wins it for me on many levels. Check it out with different instructors, but I think I found my favorites: one's classes are almost like a yoga flow with focus on breathing and the other is more similar to barre classes and focused on alignment. Thank you for being in class pass too! I only wish they had a location closer to Capitol Hill, but I hear they may have a studio opening in south lake union next year, which is a fantastic news to me. I only hope they make sure they have room to add showers this time around! read more

Inspire Pilates is hands down the best workout! I've taken Pilates (reformer) off & on for 13 years, but Inspire takes it to a whole new level with the Lagree Fitness technique. I've done barre & cross training but this is the mostefficient & effective form of workout. The staff is great & the studio is always clean & welcoming. read more

Amazing studio and workout - it has totally gotten me hooked on exercise after struggling to get back into a routine. Ari is amazing - she really checks in with everyone and corrects your form throughout the class, which helps so much and makes the workout that much better. I'm not naturally athletic and don't have a dance or movement background at all, so this consistent feedback is really appreciated! read more

I've been to Sue's class twice and got an awesome workout both times. She really works ya!

Loved Intro to Lagree! Excellent instructor and beautiful studio! Class was intense but so fun!!

I love Inspire! Well, after my workout that is... :) During, it can be intense, but the great music and awesome instructors (Melissa is my fave!) make the 40 minutes go by pretty fast. I'm definitely noticing an increase in strength and muscle tone. Absolutely worth the money and time!! read more

Love the classes and instructors, especially Devon. The Multiformers are challenging to handle at first but you'll get the idea after 1-2 classes. Varying workouts keep it exciting. read more

After a year of taking SPX classes, I can tell you the program will get your glutes and legs in shape. SPX takes a little getting used to because you're standing on top of moving pieces with springs attached to them; balance is critical. You can expect your muscles to shake most of the time, because the entire point of the exercises is to work your muscles to the point of failure. I have found great success with SPX in terms of building muscle and reducing my body fat. To read my full review please visit www.fitorfake.com read more

This place is amazing! Took my first class today and can't wait to come back!! Olivia was my instructor and she was patient, kind, and very helpful. Thank you! read more

this studio was beautiful and had really clean facilities! the instructor Kelly didn't do much correcting of form which was surprising for a class of 8 which would have been more beneficial read more

Love this LAGREE studio. Devin & Ari's classes are always tough & so mentally and physically satisfying!

They've added barre classes too! LOVE!

I was so excited after leaving this class! I had purchased a 2 class intro package and was excited to sign up for the second time. Using mind-body, it turned out that I did not get notified that I had gotten into the waitlist, so my 2nd class was used as a no-show. When I tried to contact the studio, they were impossible to get a hold of on the phone, so I finally emailed, and was told that unused classes are not credited back. I let them know that I had not even been notified that I was removed from the waitlist, and then I was let know that the intro class package is 1 month so my time had expired. What an ordeal! It seems as though if they were trying to get new students into the studio, they would not have a small print expiration date in the details of the purchase. This isn't something I would have ever thought I would have to read through when you sign up for something like this. Studios that are that difficult to work with are not worth the $35 for one class! What a racket. read more

I've been going here for about two years on and off. It's definitely my favorite workout. I love that I don't have to think about my workout and the 40 minutes flies by. However, the cancellation policy is downright ridiculous. It's a 24-hour policy and if you cant make it then you lose your spot and you do not get a refund. You DO NOT have the option to switch from say a 6:15 class to the 7pm. This has forced me to try Pure Barre since they only have a 4-hour cancellation policy which is much more reasonable especially for those of us who work and have a short window after work to get to our workout. There have been multiple times when work and life has interfered and I know by mid morning that I am not going to make the evening class. In addition, they seem to cater to those who do not work considering their BEST class - Power Barre - is only offered at noon during the week and 11am on Saturday's. There is no Barre class in the evenings. If you have a busy normal life or want a Barre class then do not come here. However, the instructors are awesome! Love all of them. read more

I have been coming here 3-4 days a week for the past 2 years, and my body has completely changed. I am stronger and lighter than I have been in 10 years! I have tried out most of the instructors at this studio, and they are all very good, just different styles. I typically take Trixi's classes; she really mixes up the exercises for each class to keep my body guessing. If you are new to SPX, I recommend taking a beginner class first (the fast pace of a 40 minute class can be daunting) and then trying out a class with each instructor to see which style works for you. If you are looking for a bodybuilding or boot camp style, try Trixi. If you are looking for a pilates style, try Rebekah (she will fry your abs in the first minute or two of class!). Rebekah also teaches a good barre class that will get your heart pumping. read more

This studio is AMAZING. For 40 minutes I get one of the best workouts of my life. They are great for all levels. I can not get enough of this place! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I have been going to inspire for almost three months now on an unlimited monthly membership and I feel amazing. My body is transforming, I sleep better at night, my core is getting so much stronger and on most days, I can hardly feel the scoliosis in my back-- all because of the amazing instructors at Inspire. I usually go 4-5 times per week. Rebekah, Trixi and Sean each have their own teaching style and I feel like I benefit differently from each class. Each of these trainers have been very patient with me, taking the time to adjust my form and I truly feel like I've improved a ton since September. The monthly membership is pricey, but it's worth every dollar to feel healthy and strong. After dancing for years and years, I had a really hard time finding a workout that didn't feel like a chore. I'm not a runner and I'm not good at motivating myself if I go to the gym alone, but SPX is fun, easy to keep up with, and extremely effective. It's one thing to find a great workout studio, it's another thing to find a great studio with a convenient schedule and instructors who really give you your money's worth. read more

I am writing this update because Inspire has won back my love, with new instructors. Their full body workout is the best in town. I believe what they say, 30 classes to a new body. You will be frustrated the first few classes because it is HARD but after a few weeks you will be able to hang with the experience folks. I love Inspire. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! Studio is clean, instructors are great and I'm already seeing great results!! I started going 2x week and love it so much I'm going to start coming 3x week! Really recommend if you want a great workout in only 40 minutes!!! read more

Trixi is the best!! If you want to get in shape she's amazing. She will kick your butt and it won't be easy, but you will GET RESULTS. She will come around to every individual and help with positioning... It's not just words thrown out at you and you follow. Those minor tweaks she makes make the biggest difference. Caveat don't go to Trixi if your looking for a hug after every push up you do. She's like a drill Sargent, but I love her. She's the greatest cheerleader and knows how to really see your level your at and customize things. read more
